"After researching several companies, we realized there is NO other option like this available in the city. The fact that the shell is brought to you, stored, then" ...More brought back to you when you need it, is so convenient. Saved us a ton of time and money. Customer service is suburb! From the confirmation calls/ emails to the follow up to let us know the shell arrived safely at the warehouse, there was exceptional communication. The shell was much bigger than I expected too. We will definitely be using

for all our moving/storage needs in the future!

"Moving is very stressful and having your information submitted to numerous companies is stressful enough. I weeded through all of the companies that have sent me" ...More e-mails and left messages, I must say the worst thing I have ever done. But, through the process I did find a company that was worth talking too and doing business with. In & Out Moving is worth speaking with my consultant explain the whole procedure in detail so their was nothing left to discuss.
I admire the fact that she took the time to go over everything with me and I felt real at ease with her. On the day of pick up it went as smooth as our phone conversation,

and his crew were a delight to deal with great team. I am very grateful for such a wonderful company. There are still some great movers and In & Out Moving is on top of list! much thanks
They did a fantastic job

Renting a storage unit may seem like a confusing process, but we’ve outlined the steps you should take in order to find the perfect fit. From determining the type of self-storage you need, to how much you can expect to pay, the Angie’s List Guide to Storage Units covers all the right stuff (in a climate controlled area, of course).

Although Angie's List doesn't provide info on average or "going rates" for various projects, when members and consumers submit reviews, they have the option to include that cost of the project.

With that in mind, one way to find out a very general price range on a project is to log on to www.AngiesList.com (http://www.angieslist.com/?CID=ANS) and search for "Moving" (or any other appropriate category for your project, such as remodeling - K&B or ceramic tile), and then look at the project cost info supplied by local members and consumers.

Of course, probably the best way to get the most accurate cost information is to request multiple bids from several contractors. As the price will vary with work site considerations and individual contractors' approaches, getting multiple estimates will help provide a clearer picture of what your project will cost.

I hope this information helps!

Here are the FAQ's on San Jose rent control - and only apartments and mobilehomes being rented are covered, not storage units.

http://www.sanjoseca.gov/FAQ.aspx?QID=521

More and more people are using storage units, so costs have gone up frequently and signfiicantly in the past few years.

Pretty much you are at the mercy of the market - if the market will support it, they can raise their prices - and the cleaner, newer, and higher security ones can do that easier (but also presumably protect your stuff better). Your only recourse, for lower cost, is to go with an older, shabbier looking or non-climate controlled place, build storage at your place, dedicate more of your personal space to storage, or get rid of stuff.

My daughter is completing this review. It was a mess and continues to be a mess
(1) Estimate was 700 pounds off which caused my moving and storage rates to increase dramatically
(2) Driver mis-labeled form and marked estimate for a higher valuation amount than I had requested ($500 impact)
(3) Unable to provide basic commercial terms ...More (e.g., monthly or daily storage rates) without mathematical errors
(4) Rude and dismissive customer service agents
(5) Complete unwillingness to adjust rates dispite contraction with estimate and mathematical errors
(6) Lied about ability to adjust rates and told me to contact local agent and United Van Lines, both of which told me that the agent had responsibility”

Windy CIty moved my things from their storage facility to a new condo across town -- after making a quick stop to pick-up some additional items. I had a lot of boxes (but not much furniture) and they were able to move everything within two hours -- no mess, no fuss, no problems. It was a near perfect experience. This is my second time using Windy ...More City Moving and I would NEVER choose anyone else.

Addl comment: One of my bookshelves ended up getting scratched. After rather slow follow up from the manager, I was told that I could either accept a small token from the insurance company for the damage (since I did not purchase additional insurance) ... or I could let them fix the scratch for me. I chose to handle on my own since I did not care very much about the bookshelves.Although I still recommend using this company, I would also encourage you to purchase additional insurance if there are items you fear getting damaged.”

This is my first experience with storing stuff. I was very apprehensive!

The staff member greeted me upon arrival and looked in my moving truck to see how much stuff I had. He was unsure that my stuff would fit into the size unit I had reserved. So while the movers loaded my stuff onto flat carts, the staff person took me to two available ...More units so I could see fthe different sizes for myself. He then showed me a third unit when I asked about being a little closer to the elevator. It was nice to have options. And indeed, I needed the bigger size.

Signing the paperwork was

, they explained everything. Tried to sell me insurance a couple times but I had already checked with my homeowners insurance and my stuff is covered as long as I still have an insured place of residence and the storage place is climate controlled.

The day I moved in it was 90 degrees out and the Air conditioning was blasting throughout the facility. The halls are lit pretty well. I have been back twice to bring a few more items over. As a single woman it's nice that the load in area has glass windows to the staffed office. Also there are many flat carts around to use. ”

My neighbor's were moving and had hired this company,

& Storage Inc. They were here until 2:30 pm on Thursday August 11th, 20011. The movers had the ramp set in the back of the truck, directly in front of my neighbor's garage door. This

they set up in is the same exit I use along ...More with dozen of others.When they left, I noticed they had broken something because there was broken glass directly under the ramp they were using. I called the company immediately and asked them to come back an clean up the glass. However they refused saying there was no proof it was them. I explained how I got their number from video surveillance we have on the

. I told the manager I have pictures showing where the ramp was and where the broken glass was located, however she told me unless I had the video of the actual breakage, it is not her problem. I explained to her that for me to look through hours of surveillance only to find a couple of seconds was just not worth my time considering the obvious. I then asked her to just take a look at the still photos where the garage door was in accordance to the ramp and the broken glass She again refused and informed me that unless the picture shows something falling she's not interested. I once again explained to her how many cars, people and kids use and play in this ally. I asked her to show good faith in the likelihood it was their responsibility to save damage or injury to others, especially the children, and she refused. At this point I feel like I owe the time to write a review on my experience, and to give an example of how this company acts on a moral basis. Be kind to your old neighbors, use a more professional service.
I took some still photos and will be posting them ASAP. You to be the judge.
Peace”

The move included the packing and stuff of the furniture. We were very happy with them and would use them again. They were very responsive and accommodating. It was the same crew that came out. Their team leader was fantastic. They even moved a DVD and the furniture into one room and I wanted them to move it again and they did that. They were very careful ...More and there were no damages. They took care of all our floors and put blankets on the floor, so the floors didn't get scratched when they come in and out. They took off their shoes every time they came in. They came right on target as their estimate was exactly what we ended up with and we didn't have to pay any more. I would say that they were perfect. ”

Everything went really well and very smoothly. We had belongings from coach house moved out and wrapped for donation. Items from old house to go to coach house were put in efficiently. They were very careful with moving our grand piano, something we were very nervous about. All items going to storage were coded to make sure they were going to the ...More correct place. Bid came in almost exactly as estimated. We will be storing items for many months and then having the same company (obviously) put everything back in the renovated home, including items from the temporary, coach house. I have complete confidence it will be done well.”

The service is excellent and it?s more than I expected. Because I signed a year contract I received 2 months free. They are courteous, friendly and they provide you with a consultant who help you find what best suites your needs. She took her time to walk me around and show me the units, and help me make the right choice. It is a very clean facility, ...More and even have a restroom on site that is just as clean.”

was very helpful and offered several suggestions on how to handle our situation. Ultimately, the capability to have a storage box dropped off at our place and even have his crews load the box was outstanding. Given the lack of storage space AND the inability to move the large items,
